In this episode of Trust Issues, co-hosts Bruno Lecoq and Jeremy Patterson break down overloaded IT teams, suspiciously perfect CMMC scores, audit readiness, AI and why losing one key employee should never take your compliance program with them.

  • CMMC, Whistleblowers and the Cost of Lying

    CMMC, Whistleblowers and the Cost of Lying
    Sep 9 2026
    Compliance is not security, and security is not compliance. In this episode of Trust Issues, Jeremy Patterson and Bruno Lecoq speak with E.J. Hilbert, Director of US Regulatory Compliance and Security Officer at Element Materials Technology, about why checkbox compliance fails, why CMMC cannot be treated like an IT-only project and why contractors need to understand the rules they are signing up to, before an auditor, whistleblower, competitor, or regulator forces the issue. The big takeaway: CMMC is not a certificate you hang on the wall. It is a program that has to live across the company.

    Your AI Policy Won’t Save You

    AI governance is where most companies are getting it wrong. It’s not that they lack policies, but because they don’t understand what can actually go wrong with the technology they’re deploying. In this episode of Trust Issues, hosts Jeremy Patterson and Bruno Lecoq step away from their usual CMMC focus to sit down with Dallas Bishoff, President of Process 360 and a sitting member of the ISO committees writing the rules for AI, auditing, and emerging technologies.
